Ce groupe Indien est d\u00e9sormais un habitu\u00e9 de notre webzine. C’est \u00e0 l’occasion de la sortie de son nouvel album que nous retrouvons cette formation qui ravira les metal freaks traditionnels…<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

1- Salut AGAINST EVIL ! Depuis 2021 et la chronique de votre pr\u00e9c\u00e9dent album \u00ab End Of Line \u00bb, que s\u2019est-il pass\u00e9 pour votre groupe ?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bonjour! Beaucoup de choses se sont pass\u00e9es ces derni\u00e8res ann\u00e9es. \u00c9videmment, le Covid a ruin\u00e9 beaucoup de nos plans et a tu\u00e9 l’\u00e9lan, mais nous avons continu\u00e9 et avons rebondi avec une superbe tourn\u00e9e europ\u00e9enne en 2023, puis un an plus tard, nous voil\u00e0 avec un tout nouvel album et une autre tourn\u00e9e en ao\u00fbt\/septembre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2- Parlez-nous un peu de votre nouvel album \u00ab\u00a0Give ‘Em Hell\u00a0\u00bb : enregistrement, composition, pochette, etc\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nous avons commenc\u00e9 \u00e0 \u00e9crire d\u00e8s notre retour de notre tourn\u00e9e europ\u00e9enne en mai 2023. L’\u00e9nergie et l’excitation de la tourn\u00e9e ont aliment\u00e9 le processus d’\u00e9criture de l’album et nous avons pu le terminer en d\u00e9cembre, suivi d’un enregistrement pendant les premiers mois de 2024. C’est une extension de nos albums pr\u00e9c\u00e9dents en termes d’\u00e9criture de chansons et si vous avez aim\u00e9 nos albums pr\u00e9c\u00e9dents, vous allez adorer celui-ci !<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3- Votre label Doc Gator Records est bas\u00e9 en Suisse. Pourquoi travailler avec eux ?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ils ont entendu nos chansons en ligne et nous ont contact\u00e9s en 2018 pour une sortie europ\u00e9enne de notre album \u00ab\u00a0All Hail the King\u00a0\u00bb. La sortie a \u00e9t\u00e9 tr\u00e8s r\u00e9ussie et nous avons fait une tourn\u00e9e en 2019 et maintenant plusieurs ann\u00e9es plus tard, nous sortons notre troisi\u00e8me album avec eux. Nous sommes vraiment heureux d\u2019avoir trouv\u00e9 des personnes partageant les m\u00eames id\u00e9es, d\u00e9vou\u00e9es et partageant la m\u00eame passion pour le m\u00e9tal que nous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4- Vous vivez en Inde. Pas facile je suppose pour toi de venir jouer \u00ab live \u00bb en Europe. Tu as quelque chose de pr\u00e9vu?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ce n’est pas facile du tout, mais nous y sommes parvenus gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 notre partenariat avec Doc Gator, \u00e0 tous les promoteurs\/clubs et au soutien de nos super fans. Nous avons fait deux tourn\u00e9es europ\u00e9ennes ; en 2019 et 2023 et nous nous pr\u00e9parons pour le troisi\u00e8me en ao\u00fbt\/septembre de cette ann\u00e9e.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5- Parlez-nous de la sc\u00e8ne indienne ?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Il existe de nombreux groupes de metal g\u00e9niaux ici, mais malheureusement, le genre est tr\u00e8s underground et ne pr\u00e9sente aucune opportunit\u00e9 car la sc\u00e8ne est domin\u00e9e par la musique mainstream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6- Continuons sur l’Inde ; J’ai vu que vous viviez dans une ville c\u00f4ti\u00e8re un peu \u00e9loign\u00e9e des grandes villes que nous connaissons, nous europ\u00e9ens. Est-il facile de trouver des concerts dans les m\u00e9galopoles indiennes ?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

La sc\u00e8ne est meilleure dans les grandes villes mais les distances entre ces villes rendent les d\u00e9placements et les concerts tr\u00e8s difficiles. Surtout pour nous puisque nous sommes bas\u00e9s loin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7- Je sais que de grands groupes de heavy metal font des concerts en Inde. Lesquels avez-vous vu et vous ont-ils influenc\u00e9 \u00e0 cr\u00e9er un groupe ?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oui, nous avons des festivals sympas qui am\u00e8nent des groupes de metal en Inde. J’en ai vu beaucoup comme Metallica, Lamb of God, Kreator, Overkill, etc etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

8- En Europe on conna\u00eet KRYPTOS qui est sign\u00e9 par l’AFM. Connaissez-vous ces gars-l\u00e0 ?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oui. Nous nous sommes rencontr\u00e9s \u00e0 plusieurs reprises et avons m\u00eame partag\u00e9 la sc\u00e8ne \u00e0 plusieurs reprises en Inde.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

9- L’Inde reste un pays ancr\u00e9 dans une tradition s\u00e9culaire. Comment le heavy metal est-il per\u00e7u dans votre pays ?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Personne ne le comprend et pense que c’est du \u00ab bruit \u00bb. Mais je suppose que c\u2019est la m\u00eame chose dans de nombreux autres pays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

10- Connaissez-vous des groupes de metal fran\u00e7ais ?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pas beaucoup. Gojira \u00e9videmment ! et Alcest que j’ai vu en concert en Inde il y a quelques ann\u00e9es.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

11- Selon vous, y a-t-il un morceau phare qui repr\u00e9sente le mieux AGAINST EVIL?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Il est difficile de r\u00e9pondre \u00e0 cette question car la musique est subjective et chacun a ses propres pr\u00e9f\u00e9rences. Mais comme nous parlons surtout du nouvel album, je dirais que le titre \u00ab Give ‘Em Hell \u00bb repr\u00e9sente parfaitement notre style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

12- Qu’est-ce que le Heavy Metal pour toi ?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cela peut para\u00eetre ringard, mais pour moi, c’est bien plus que de la musique. C’est une fa\u00e7on de vivre et cela fait partie de qui je suis maintenant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

13- Une derni\u00e8re chose \u00e0 ajouter ? J’esp\u00e8re sinc\u00e8rement vous voir sur sc\u00e8ne un de ces jours\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Merci beaucoup d’avoir pris le temps de faire cette interview. N’h\u00e9sitez pas \u00e0 d\u00e9couvrir notre nouvel album \u00ab\u00a0Give ‘Em Hell\u00a0\u00bb qui est sorti dans le monde entier le 12 juillet. J’esp\u00e8re te voir aussi. M\u00eame si nous ne jouons pas en France, essayez d’assister \u00e0 nos concerts en Allemagne, en Autriche et en Suisse si vous le pouvez en ao\u00fbt\/septembre. A bient\u00f4t!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

English version<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

1- Hi AGAINST EVIL! Since 2021 and the review of your previous album \u00ab\u00a0End Of Line\u00a0\u00bb, what has happened for your band?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hello! A lot has happened in these past few years. Obviously COVID ruined a lot of our plans and killed the momentum, but we kept going and bounced back with an awesome European tour in 2023 and then a year later, here we are with a brand new album and another tour in August\/September.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2- Tell us a little about your new album \u00ab\u00a0Give ‘Em Hell\u00a0\u00bb: recording, composition, cover, etc\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We started writing as soon as we got back from our European tour in May 2023. The energy and exitement from the tour fueled the writing process of the album and we were able to complete it by December, followed by recording during the first few months of 2024. It’s an extension of our previous albums in terms of songwriting and if you liked our previous albums, you’re going to love this!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3- Your label Doc Gator Records is based in Switzerland. Why work with them?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

They heard our songs online and contacted us back in 2018 for a European release of our album \u00ab\u00a0All Hail the King\u00a0\u00bb. The release was very successful and we did a tour in 2019 and now many years later, we are releasing our third album with them. We are really happy to have found such like-minded people who are dedicated and share the same passion for metal that we do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4- You live in India. Not easy I suppose for you to come and play \u201clive\u201d in Europe. Do you have any plans?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s not easy at all, but we made it happen thanks to our partnership with Doc Gator, all the promoters\/clubs and support from our awesome fans. We did two European tours; in 2019 and 2023 and we are getting ready for the third during August\/September this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5- Tell us about the Indian scene?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are many awesome metal bands here but unfortunately the genre is very underground with no opportunities as the scene is dominated by mainstream music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6- To continue on India; I saw that you lived in a coastal town a little far from the big cities known to us Europeans. Is it easy to find concerts in Indian megacities?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The scene is better in the big cities but the distances between these cities makes it really hard to travel and perform. Especially for us since we are based far away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7- I know that big heavy metal bands are doing shows in India. Which ones did you see and did they influence you to start a band?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes we have some cool festivals that bring metal bands to India. I saw many of them such as Metallica, Lamb of God, Kreator, Overkill, etc etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

8- In Europe we know KRYPTOS which is signed by AFM. Do you know these guys?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes I do. We have met many times and even shared the stage in India a few times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

9- India remains a country steeped in centuries-old tradition. How is heavy metal seen in your country?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nobody understands it and thinks it’s \u00ab\u00a0noise\u00a0\u00bb. But I guess it’s the same in many other countries too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

10- Do you know french metal bands?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not many. Gojira obviously! and Alcest whom I saw live in India few years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

11- In your opinion, is there a flagship track that best represents AGAINST EVIL?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is difficult to answer because music is subjective and everyone has their own preference. But since we’re mostly talking about the new album, I’d say the title track \u00ab\u00a0Give ‘Em Hell\u00a0\u00bb perfectly represents our sound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

12- What is Heavy Metal to you?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This may sound cheesy, but it’s more than just music for me. It’s a way of live and part of who I am now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

13- One last thing to add? I sincerely hope to see you on stage one of these days\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks a lot for taking the time to do this interview. Please do check out our new album \u00ab\u00a0Give ‘Em Hell\u00a0\u00bb releasing worldwide on July 12th. I hope to see you too. Although we are not playing in France, do try to make it to our shows in Germany, Austria and Switzerland if you can this August\/September. Cheers!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
